Twenty Two year old Shaune Pekeur was killed when her throat was slit in the front yard of her home in Westridge in Mitchells Plain with a knife.

Her grandfather, Mr. Harry Mentoor, a businessman from Mitchells Plain, said his granddaughter had interdicts and protection orders against the suspect.

Mentoor said residents will present a petition to the court opposing bail.

Mentoor said: “the petiotion sends a message to all the gang members in the area that the community has had enough”.
